Australian Penal Colonies - Kent Grimes

Kent Grimes Great Expectations page. My topic is on the Australian penal colonies and their development of them. I chose this topic because in Great Expectations Pip's convict interested me. I started off with a large topic of the penal system and as I researched I found the Australia penal colonies very interesting. As England caught more criminals their prisons kept filling up and they were looking for a place to put them and this is when they found Australia useful.
